Emo Night LA throws memorable Chain Fest afterparty

Emo Night LA (formerly Taking Back Tuesday) hosted the official after party to Chain Fest, a festival dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the beloved all-ages venue, Chain Reaction in Anaheim.

Emo Night LA gained a passionate and dedicated fan base over the past two years from their monthly “Emo Nite” events at The Echo/Echoplex in Echo Park, CA. The popularity in “Emo Nite” has let Emo Night LA take their show all across the country.

Emo Night LA, with the help of the surprise DJs (including members of Dance Gavin Dance), spun the crowd’s favorite emo hits from the 2000s, the 90s, and today.

The collective quite literally “shut down” Chain Fest by taking the party from the end of Coheed and Cambria’s set, all the way to 2 a.m.

In addition, this was Emo Night LA’s first time hosting the event at The Observatory Orange County. Also, this event was 18+, a drastic change from their usual 21+ events.

The people at Emo Night sure kn0w how to have a good time (as seen in the pictures above) and helped Chain Fest end with a bang.
